We bid a sad* farewell to France who was crushed mercilessly by the grand Italian army. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it now. This just doesn’t happen! France is the strongest army in the game, Italy the weakest. Italy is supposed to be the second quote, the also ran and what about Austria?! It’s not supposed to cause mayhem, it’s supposed to die just after Italy.

Well it’s anyone’s game now (apart from France, Germany, probably not Russia or Turkey) at this stage.
